It ts hard to convince any one there was jany real need for raising the street Nghting this year over what it was last year, or that the taxpayers should be soaked $227,000 as a re-| |buke to the Renick law, when $30 [000 does It just as well. Now, the {mportant thing ts to have some one nominated who enn beat Gill. That man ts Griffiths. Gill can say nothing against Grit-/ /fiths, for Griffiths is the man who! lreally put Gill's name among the| Mat of respectable people again by consenting to be his chief of police }tor a few months.
